I must confess I love the month of May. I vividly can recall the smell the fragrant lilacs in bloom in our next door neighbor’s yard when I lived in my childhood home. Their shrubs were directly under our kitchen window, so the scent of these aromatic blooms could not be missed. As I exited …

I must confess, I am a huge fan of the medical mystery genre whether reading about these in print or watching these on television. The phrase, “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras,” is often quoted in the medical world, and was coined in the late 1940s by Dr. Theodore Woodward. It was meant …

The hubby and I hosted a brunch for ten friends, we witnessed a football game of epic proportions, and we played the most extraordinary and engaging board game with a pair of our lively grandkids.

I must confess, I have had to learn the hard way that having expectations has sometimes resulted in poor outcomes. Take, for example, the fact that I love forget me nots and I would expect that I should be able to grow them on my windowsill, since they're just wildflowers. Each time I see those …

I must confess, I struggle to pray consistently. I can relate to Mike Yaconelli when he writes in his book, Messy Spirituality, that the only constant in his spiritual life is his inconsistency.
